It is 63 degrees this morning.

We are almost ready to pull out the shorts, because the warmth is such a change from the frigid week we have endured.35 degrees? The native NC people are adapted to this kind of changeable weather and I have seen some beautiful long sweaters that are nearly coats. These are a necessary acoutrement for outerwear in the fall in the wastelands of America(LOL). There are such mild temperatures here we get spoiled. I can hardly remember what snow looks like(real snow). They have a replica of snow that shows up once or twice a year for a photo op and all of the world stops to photograph the snow and the beauty that it brings. For now, we were tempted to think that Mr. Snow was going to show up early for his fashion show. Let me tell you Charlottenes are always ready for it. They keep their one pair of gloves and warm items perfect in the box marked(Photo op for the snow)LOL. Not really. I am glad that it is warming up. We are going to the farm today, Ezra and I with his class. I am not sure if it is apples or pumpkins we are after this time. What a beautiful day it is supposed to be for the trip.

Widdle Emmie in outer space school

Emmie jumped on the bus and off it flew out into the atmosphere. There was a set of clouds with turbulence right above the house and it took a few minutes for my Emmie to buckle her seatbelt. They hit the bump hard and it knocked my Emmie out of her seat and she bumped her head. The video camera came on and the monitor looked through and stated, Ms. Emmie, where are you? You are not in your seat. Where are you? I am alright I fell because I hadn’t buckled correctly. Well jump up Emmie we have a long way to go and you have to be buckled there is entirely too much turbulence in the stratosphere for you to unbuckle now. As soon as we are through this weather system there will be straight sailing but right now you must buckle. Emmie scrambled into the seat with intensity and purpose now. She watched every cloud pass her window and her nose was pressed to the window trying to see the top of the house as it drifted slowly out of sight. Soon they were not only out of sight of the house, the sun came out brightly and just as quickly they were putting on the atmospherical breathing apparatus and the outerspherical lights. The ABA and the OL. These precautions were to make them appear to be satellites to the radar as they were out in the ionosphere. Emmie knew all about this now. She had gone to the orientation and had a good breakfast and it took them 20 minutes for her to get out past the atmospherical pull and to feel the zero gravity. It would be 15 minutes before the gravity simulators would take effect, a glitch in the system which was being worked on. Until then, they enjoyed the couple of minutes of floatation, while being connected to the seats by belt. The first thing they saw everyday was the strataflotsam. The items which had been dumped into the atmosphere by earlier generations. What would their generation do about this ecological waste area that remained floating above their heads? This was a question for the generations. For now it was the area that they had to guide through on the way to school.

My little Emmie

ran to the bus on the first day of the last year of school. 2 buns on the side of her head. She kissed me and ran at dawn to the bus. She was starting the adventure of a lifetime. I would never see that little girl again, she was going to woman school!

He once was, a true love of mine….So, Girls, I do beg you don't miss your Daddy,Apricots, Chocolate cherries and Pie,You have one short chance to see him on this side, Go visit him and let your light shine.

Oh Word of God Incarnate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries:O Word of God incarnate,O Wisdom from on high,O Truth unchanged, unchanging,O Light of our dark sky:We praise Thee for the radianceThat from the hallowed page,A lantern to our footsteps,Shines on from age to age.

The Church from her dear MasterReceived the gift divine,And still that light she liftethO'er all the earth to shine.It is the golden casketWhere gems of truth are stored;It is the heav'n-drawn pictureOf Christ, the living Word.

It floateth like a bannerBefore God's host unfurled;It shineth like a beaconAbove the darkling world.It is the chart and compassThat o'er life's surging sea,'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.

O make Thy Church, dear Saviour,A lamp of purest gold,To bear before the nationsThy true light, as of old.O teach thy wand'ring pilgrimsBy this their path to trace,Till, clouds and darkness ended,They see Thee face to face.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
